On a quiet island where the jungle meets the sea, a different kind of retreat experience awaits.
If you’re a yoga teacher, breathwork facilitator, or creative coach dreaming of leading a retreat that feels intimate, soulful, and truly special — you already know the setting matters. The right location doesn’t just frame your offering, it deepens it. It holds space for transformation, opens hearts, and creates the conditions for meaningful connection.
Yemaya Reefs, tucked away on the untouched shores of Little Corn Island, Nicaragua, is that kind of place.
Here, nature takes the lead and everything else follows. You’ll find white-sand beaches with no crowds, turquoise waters with no noise, and a retreat experience that feels as luxurious as it does grounding.
While many retreat venues promise tranquility, Yemaya Reefs actually delivers it. The island itself is car-free, walkable, and refreshingly off-grid. Your guests arrive by boat, leaving behind traffic, stress, and signal bars. Let them step into a slower, softer rhythm.
The property is intentionally designed for deep rest and intentional gathering, with just 16 oceanfront rooms, each featuring private decks, hammocks, and open-air showers. The barefoot luxury vibe is complemented by thoughtful touches like artisanal toiletries, filtered drinking water, and seamless hospitality.
At the heart of the experience is Yemaya’s open-air yoga shala, overlooking the Caribbean ocean. An ideal setting for morning flows, breathwork, journaling circles, or evening meditations beneath the stars, it’s a truly transformational space.
And when it comes to food, our chef-led kitchen prepares vibrant, plant-rich meals inspired by the island’s flavors and seasons. We’re happy to accommodate wellness-focused diets, whether that means gluten-free, vegan, or simply nourishing and colorful.
At Yemaya Reefs, we offer three retreat packages to suit your vision, whether you’re leading your first group or curating an annual signature experience.

Most retreat leaders are tired of the overly commercial “wellness scene.” Little Corn is the antidote.
This tiny island is safe, peaceful, and car-free. No traffic, no pollution, no noise — just coconut trees, crystal-clear water, and quiet paths that connect the island by foot. It’s the kind of place that encourages people to unplug, reset their nervous systems, and reconnect with themselves.
